Mount Troodelöh — Cologne's Highest Point

Highlight • Summit

The survey with the idiosyncratic name is actually the highest point in Cologne's urban area. Everyone in Cologne should have climbed it once in their life. This is even possible without an oxygen device. The 118 meter high "mountain" is located in the Königsforst. The Cologne Alpine Club has erected an impressive summit stone up here. There is even a summit book. The name is made up of the surnames of the three “discoverers”.
